Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin Soap Bar Review

I'm just watching  a breakdown of the latest House of Dragon episode- which I'm surprised Im actually watching because I'm finding this season boring and hard to pay attention to. I don't really care about any of the characters...I only care about the dragons. I don't find the "villains" of the show to be in a quarter as interesting as the Game of Throne characters. And I don't find Rhaenyra to be interesting at all...she wants to rule but really didn't take any time preparing or learning the proper way to rule. I did watch Knight of the Seven Kingdoms though- a few weeks ago and was shocked because I actually really enjoyed it. Much better than HOTD at least.

But let me stop blabbing and get this post done. 

Jo Malone claims:

Elevate your daily routine with satiny Lime Basil & Mandarin Soap. With moringa oil and RSPO-certified palm oil, the formula creates a creamy lather, and cleanses and conditions skin. Leave skin scented with this tantalising, zesty fragrance.

Made in England

I've tried a few Jo Malone scents at this point...I think seven. So I'm not new to them. Of all of them though- this is the one I wanted to try the most. I love Lime and Basil together.  So I assumed I would also love Lime, Basil, and Mandarin. Sounds like the ultimate summer scent. 

But I don't really like it. I guess I get the Basil. I also get the Mandarin. Idk about lime. Put them all together and you get a scent that I'm just not excited about. It has this odd note to it or underlying scent that reminds me of the Red Roses scent. Just a sharp note of something strange.

Other than that it lathers well, doesn't dry my skin, lingers a little, and rinses clean. 

Also it melts fast. I've noticed an insane price increase of the past year or two. I bought it on sale- good for me. Because really it is so overpriced for what it is.

Overall, this scent is not for me. I have one more Jo Malone soap in the stash and after I use that up I don't see myself buying any more soaps from them for quite awhile- especially since the remaining soaps are in scents I have already tried in other forms.
